Barzani in Paris to meet senior officials

[Piling]

I love the pics when he makes the friendly "French bise" to Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris. At least, French ppl will understand that Kurdish leaders are not religious fanatics.

Very unusual to see Barzani in European clothes

Perhaps he thought he would be taken more seriously dressed as a European businessman

You are correct - Barzani having his head uncovered shows a sensitivity to the situation in France and disassociates him from Muslim fundamentalism

Barzani is a VERY wise man

When he travels abroad he has always Western clothes. But in Kurdistan he welcomes all foreign officials in Kurdish suit. "In Rome, do as the Romans."

But I am sure that Kurdish islamists don't appreciate the hugging-kissing between genders
